Of course you have to wait for the right day to summon him. Like the Deadra in the indeep lore of elder scrolls.
I heared thursdays work quite good.
I wouldnt be THAT pessimistic.

Well he didn't say it won't answer any questions. But to answer ALL questions? That would be impossible.
Hell, most DD's actually create more questions than they answer. But that's the nature of knowledge then isn't it? The more you know, the more you understand the gaps in your knowledge and the better prepared you are to quantify those gaps in such a way as to know what additional knowledge will allow you to fill them. If you don't have more questions at the end of the day than you did at the beginning, I submit you haven't spent that day learning.

I'm sure some questions will be answered. I just don't think we'll have answers to ALL our questions until after release.
Not summoning nothing.
Just pointing out that this Dev diary has 0 dev responses and tons of questions.
There's even a thread with all of them collected nice and tight for him to answer.

They were away that week, at GDC. I think they haven't had a chance to look at all the questions yet.Not summoning nothing.

I would not presume to summon the mighty Wiz for something as profane as a simple, specific question.
I summon my favourite developers for deep and profound wisdom, to smite enemy nerds, for depraved and unmentionable favours and to generally improve my quality of life...
They weren't all at GDC. And the number of dev responses has been dwindling steadily over recent months anyway.
Most of those who usually answer the questions were at GDC, and the number has remained pretty constant IMO.
The last seven DDs, with the number of dev responses:
63: 0
62: 10
61: 5
60: 2
59: 15
58: 19
57: 17
As you can see, there has been a significant fall-off in the number of dev responses from DD 60 onwards. Indeed, as recently as December we were getting over 20 dev responses on some DDs. Hell, there were even 6 dev responses to the "Where is everybody?" joke diary.
They have said much of what is to say, in dev diaries, comments, tweets and stream answers combined. There's still a month left for Utopia to come out. That's several dev diaries left, meaning if they say anymore, they won't have anything left for later.
As compared to the three ones before. Not exactly solid statistical analysis. You should at least do all 63 and see what it looks like before you try to draw any conclusions.
I disagree.
There are at least 3 to 4 more DDs to come and each will raise its own relevant questions.
Unfortunately, those that I care about the most for Utopia (about synth ascension) fell in the void. They haven't even answered twitter questions.
Huh, fair enough. Guess they have plenty to be working on though. It wouldn't surprise me if it falls off like this right before any new release.
I was just about to point out the same thing. I'm quite sure some wise guy would have construed their constant stream of answers as proof positive that all developers are not busy with Utopia, or else how do they have time to answer random questions on Twitter? ^^
Frankly, I'd not take the lack of communication amiss. I'm sure they're going to get more and more frantic as the launch day approaches, given that there never seems to be enough time to catch ALL the bugs.
If any of your questions are deal breakers, I'd personally be very happy to be your coal canary - I plan to buy the DLC on day and - if possible - minute one if at all feasible and would not be averse to playing a bit of hivemind/robotic ascendancy to check out any wrinkle you need, if you are hesitant to buy without having the answers.
yay! *makes my primary species delicious, so that we can canabalistically eat ourselves out of existance*
... would eating your own civilization cause negative opinion modifiers? I mean, what if it's just something your race does...
I looked at the replies to my posts...
I openly wept. It's like talking to robots pretending to be toddlers.
Life goes on... I'll be waiting for a mod that turns off the stupid Psionics...

So Wiz being part of the stellaris stream means fewer replies sounds like maybe having someone else do this like ddr jake and trim does in eu4
If people are worried about the communication from the devs here, I hope you never care about a Firaxis game! Civ6 communication is like a desert, and they have some significant explaining to do IMO.
Less replies from the devs might be an indication that they are concentrating on 1.5 to really have included everything they want and have it work properly.
